Gu Xiaonan was also very curious. He unpacked the packaging, revealing a wooden box inside.

On his first attempt, he couldn’t open it; the box was a bit tight.

He used his fingers to forcefully pry it open.

The lid popped open suddenly, and a white mist burst out instantly.

At the first sign of trouble, Gu Xiaonan immediately stepped back and held his breath.

Feng Yuanxi reacted just as quickly as him, taking protective measures immediately.

Qianxi was just a maid, lacking any real self-defense skills. Not being prepared, she inhaled quite a bit of the white smoke. “Cough, cough! What is this? A prank?”

Gu Xiaonan covered his nose and mouth, frowning. “Lushi Auction House wouldn’t play such pranks.”

He took out a bottle of antidote from his spatial storage and gave one to Yuanxi and himself, then handed one to Qianxi.

Qianxi stood still, dumbfounded.

“Sister Qianxi?” Gu Xiaonan called to her.

Seeing no response from Qianxi, Gu Xiaonan exchanged a glance with Feng Yuanxi. “Qianxi is poisoned.”

Feng Yuanxi raised his hand, using a palm wind to blow the smoke out of the room.

Looking back at the wooden box, they saw a spring placed in the center, with white residue powder on it.

Someone was using the name of Lushi Auction House to harm them!

More precisely, the target should be Gu Xiaonan.

“Let’s go tell Mother!” Feng Yuanxi said with a serious expression.

Gu Xiaonan shook his head. “Mother has too many things to worry about. Let’s handle what we can on our own for now. If we can’t resolve it, then we can ask for her help.”

Just as he finished speaking, Qianxi suddenly walked towards the door.

Neither of them could stop her.

“It must be the person who sent the gift causing trouble!”

Gu Xiaonan asserted.

“Let’s follow and see!”

They trailed behind Qianxi, watching her head straight out the back door.

Gu Xiaonan had a rough idea of what the other side intended to do. He held onto Feng Yuanxi and whispered a few words in his ear.

“It’s too dangerous.” Feng Yuanxi disagreed, shaking his head.

“There aren’t many in Tianjing who can match us. If the enemy is too strong, then you can inform Mother. I won’t be in danger.”

Gu Xiaonan meant for himself to pretend to be affected.

If Qianxi were the only one involved, the individual orchestrating this might give up on the plan midway once they realized it.

In order to expose the mastermind, he had no choice but to take a risk.

“Here, take Xiaobai! It’s clever and fast! It can give you a hand.”

Xiaomei was too noisy; Gu Xiaonan found Xiaobai more obedient.

Seeing that Qianxi was about to reach the end of the street, Gu Xiaonan tossed

Xiaobai into Yuanxi’s arms and chased after Qianxi.

Feng Yuanxi lowered his head and exchanged a glance with Xiaobai.

Xiaobai: “Squeak, squeak!”

Everything would be fine. The young master is very clever and can handle it.

Feng Yuanxi patted its head. “Alright, let’s go too.”

Quietly, they followed.

To avoid being noticed, Feng Yuanxi kept his distance.

Up ahead, Gu Xiaonan, with his short legs, quickly caught up with Qianxi, and their pace slowed down.

With one tall and one small figure, they appeared as if a master and his servant were taking a leisurely walk together.

Residence of the Fifth Prince.

“Your Highness, they’ve arrived!”

A guard came to the front of the Fifth Prince’s sleeping quarters to report.

Inside the room, the Fifth Prince was busy with several beauties, paying no attention. “What’s the rush? Lock them up for now, I’ll deal with them when I’m in the mood!”

Hearing the obscene laughter from inside, the guard curled his lip, replied with an “understood”, and went to inform the person whistling to take Gu Xiaonan and Qianxi to the firewood room first.

Both of them walked into the firewood room with vacant eyes. To prevent any unexpected events, the guard tied them up with ropes and had someone administer a muscle relaxant to them.

Then, they locked the firewood room, and after securing it, they left..
